The Changing Face of Marriage

Growing up, my parents always did a great job of raising my siblings and I. We were taught to share, learn, and most importantly, we were taught about our faith. We attended Church every Sunday, (still do as much as our demanding schedules will let us), received every sacrament, and although we did not attend a catholic grade school, we attended CCD every wednesday night, with my mom as the teacher. Ultimately, faith has always been a big role in my up-bringing. Along with this, I have learned and experienced much of my parents loving marriage, the trials and tribulations, and how they use faith to keep a healthy and happy marriage. One thing that I have learned is that it is important to bring up your children in a stable home and environment. In the movie "Hes Just Not That Into You", Jennifer Aniston was unhappy about her partners not wanted to get married. I agree with her in the fact that marriage should be a step in life to seal the love you have for another person, and also to being the foundation of a family. After all, I have learned that my parents together are the strongest bond that holds my family together. With studies being done about college graduates with degrees potentially being less probable to get a divorce, it gives me hope that i will have a successful marriage one day. I feel that marriage is an important stepping stone in establishing a life the way that God would have planned for me.
